Can I please get another break...
i don't know
I did this in about 15 minutes. Wish I was an artist who could pump out amazing work in 15 minutes but I can't haha
Gotta go wake up tomorrow early see you next time
i left the kitchen light on again
like something might come back for me
the clock is stuck between two times
i swear it’s just to mess with me
there’s a cup on the counter i won’t move
like if it stays i might stay too
i keep pretending small things prove
there’s something i’m supposed to do
[chorus]
and i’m so not sure
if i’m getting better or just getting bored
of the same old thoughts i can’t ignore
like a song i don’t like anymore
i’m so not sure
if i mean the things that i feel when i’m hurt
or i just say them cause they work
either way it only makes it worse
[verse 2]
but every sentence contradicted
something else i thought i’d feel
try to fix what’s broke but i ghost the fix
[chorus]
and i’m so not sure
if i’m getting better or just getting bored
of the same old thoughts i can’t ignore
like a song i don’t like anymore
i’m so not sure
if i mean the things that i feel when i’m hurt
or i just say them cause they work
either way it only makes it worse
piano :)
Didn't think I'd be going drunk with Rubato again
Another dance number from me, this time with whimsical chords, thick beats with lots of syncopation and a rich 303 acid line that permiates throughout the piece. I tried to change the chords throughout to keep it varied, as well as add some pads and other melodic oddeties to keep it melodical rich too. In the middle is more stabbed material to give it a 90's polish, and the track itself is very much a start on stop type of deal, as the track is all about the various sections, vs a buildup and drop type of deal. It's interesting stuff i must say, i hope you enjoy!
May 1st, National College Decision Day, is coming up soon, and as a high school senior, this means I have to make one of the biggest decisions of my lives. But with so many factors, from location, to academics, to cost, to social life, how do I decide? This song shows the college decision process and the uncertainty of it all.
